The Digital Economy of Russia is a government-sponsored program that shapes the national policy on the development and promotion of digital economy in the country. Its delivery is essential for improving Russia’s competitiveness, standards of living, and securing its economic growth.
Rosatom will be one of the excellence centers to facilitate delivery of the program. The center will draft action plans for four areas of the program scope, including advanced manufacturing technology, big data, quantum computing, and virtual and augmented reality. The plans will be drafted by teams formed in cooperation with businesses, industry experts and leading engineering universities.
“As a new excellence center, Rosatom is facing an ambitious task. We will integrate proposals coming from potential stakeholders into the action plan for the relevant area. Following approval from the Russian Venture Company (RVC), Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, and Digital Economy (a nonprofit organization), we will present the resulting document to the government commission,” said Kirill Komarov, Rosatom’s Deputy CEO for International Business.
At the vanguard of digitalization
Having become a part of our lives, digital economy has transformed business processes across the globe. The use of digital technologies in economy and other areas of life has shaped a new lifestyle. Digital economy requires new approaches to designing and implementing projects, and this is where Rosatom is among the best. Russian nuclear power plants are designed and constructed with an integrated approach, with all planning operations performed in a digital environment. This approach is referred to the world’s best engineering practices for now.
Rosatom’s new end-to-end project management system based on the Multi-D technology accumulates project-related information at every project stages and controls logistic processes, lead times, workload and quality. The growing use of digital technologies and expanded possibilities they offer generate demand for high-performance computing.
The industries that need it are developing very rapidly. It is natural that conventional desktop PCs and servers are no longer capable of meeting their needs and therefore replaced with purpose-designed machines, which might require separate engineering infrastructure. Rosatom Group companies do manufacture such supercomputers. Examples of their applications are many: modeling reactor core processes to optimize designing solutions, managing gas pipelines, 3D-modeling oil and gas formations, computing aircraft properties and behavior, and developing digital enterprise systems.
